Kate Upton Sizzles in Swimsuit Issue

I'm always a little bit interested in leafing through the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Maybe it's because I'm totally envious of the models' uh-mazing bodies, or maybe it's because I'm curious about body painting. (How do they do that?)

Regardless, the one thing that's clear to me every time I pick it up? That this issue is not geared toward me. Until this year's, that is.

With Kate Upton on the cover for the second year straight–this time, “bundled” in the Antarctic–there’s no shortage of gorgeous models or pretty bikinis (although, perhaps some fabric) throughout the magazine’s pages. This year, perhaps because 18 million women already read each issue annually, the team over at SI created a “Style Guide” exclusively for gals, so we can recreate the looks found on the magazine’s pages at home. Not only are there swimsuits featured for purchase for around $50, there’s also lessons on how to get tousled beach waves and softly lit-looking skin. (FYI: Hairstylist Peter Butler used Leonor Greyl products on Upton’s mane to get that shiny, sexy look.)

Wanna know more? David Letterman last night aired the cover’s “Official Reveal” with Upton. You can also pick up a copy in stores starting today, or watch this possibly NSFW video teaser below.
